The street lights flickered as Kiyone pushed herself up from the ground spitting out a mouthful of blood. She has just gotten a good punch to the face which broke the inside of her lip and made her nose bleed. Her opponents today were three guys from school, the captain of the soccer team and two of his buddies. This little fight all started earlier in school when Kyou was napping in a tree and the Captain was arguing with a nerdy girl underneath. He was going on about how she didn't finish his project in time and got a bad grade for it. Things escalated quickly so Kiyone took it upon herself to intervene and help the girl. He was just about to hit her when Kiyone jumped down from the tree landing on him and walked off with the young girl while he got up.
From the group both of the captains friends were carrying baseball bats but Kyou really didn't think much of it. " You guys are annoying you know that?" With that she swiftly kneed the guy to her right in the stomach, knocking the air out of him and causing him to fall over clutching his stomach in pain. Picking up his bat Kiyone didn't waste anytime striking the guy to her left with the bat behind his legs then in the stomach, he too stayed down groaning in pain. Now the only one who was left was the captain and right now he looked frightened, he panicked and grabbed the other bat charging at Kiyone with it as he swung. Kiyone blocked it with her bat but she hit so hard that the bat flew out of his hand. As the captain looked toward Kiyone after the shock of having the bat knocked out of his hands passed, all he saw was a red streak and that's when Kyou's knee connected with his face.
A couple of seconds after she stuck the landing Kiyone picked up her school bag, adjusted her headphones and began to walk home after hearing that 'Thud' that told her that the captain had gone down. When Kiyone was finally home she was greeted by her older sister Ryuko who sighed upon seeing her sister in this state. " Who was it this time?" Ryuko asked as she grabbed the small first aid kit that she always kept stocked because of Kiyone. " Some guys from school, I took care of them though, They won't be bothering me or anyone one else for that matter. " Pinching the bridge of her nose Kiyone made her way to the kitchen counter where she sat up on as Ryuko worked her magic stopping the bleeding and putting a bandage across her younger sister's nose and one on her bruised cheek. Ryuko only nodded at at her sisters answer and began to put everything away.
" Your food is on the table, I made your favorite Miso Soup and Fried Shrimp, Lucky you it's still hot." Kiyone looked over to where her sister said and saw her food sitting at the table all ready to eat. With a big smile and a peck on the cheek Kiyone hopped off the kitchen counter and sat down to ear. " Thanks Sis!" Ryuko sighed a slight smile creeping onto her lips as she turned to her room. " Yeah, Yeah just make sure you clean up after you eat." With that Ryuko had disappeared into her room while Kyou was left gobbling down her food.
After eating and a hot shower Kiyone felt her eyes grow heavy, it was 11 at night now and she was ready to sleep. Climbing into her bed wearing only a tank-top and and panties she quickly wrapped herself in her blankets but that's when she remembered that her phone had vibrated in her pocket when she was striking down those annoying guys. She stretched out her hand towards her night stand where her phone rested and flipped through her e-mails finding one from Tsubaki.
"Hey, it's me, Tsubaki. You feel like coming over tomorrow, after school? Let's discuss the subject of our thesis and see what information we gathered."
Placing her phone back Kiyone thought she would send her reply in the morning since she was falling asleep just reading the e-mail. With her room now dark except for the faint glow coming from the moon, Kiyone was out like a light.
Morning came and the blue-eyed girl was downstairs eating a toast with jelly while her sister got her lunch ready. When she was done eating her toast she slipped on her red leather finger-less gloves and grabbed her school bag where her sister placed her lunch in and headed out the door. Kyou pulled out her phone and looked at the bandages that covered the bridge of her nose and her cheek with the reflection of the screen and scowled a bit. " Little crap. " She mumbled remembering how the captain punched her in the face. Shaking the memory from her head she turned on her phone sending a reply to Tsubaki.
" Yeah, sure I'll come over Just tell me where. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧ " Kiyone pressed send and placed her hands behind her head as she walked, a yawn escaping her lips. Kiyone finally got to school and sneaked her way passed the crowed halls until she got to her class where she slipped into and sat at her seat in the back and quickly put her head down immediately falling asleep.
